SAINT-HUBERT: Sniff the dead urls of your webpage from the terminal !

Learning Golang one project at the time

go build -o sniff

Project roadmap:

• GET request on the page
• Check if any link on the page
• retrieve all href content (http, https)
• Create slice
• For each href create struct with link as key
• For each key element of the data structure
  • GET request
  • Retrieve HTTP status code
  • add HTTP code status to value of each key
  • Remove duplicates from array
• Display result in CLI
• Save output as JSON to file (when asked)

Future features to have:

• Nice CLI UI (with colors !),
• Arg to display only issues,
• Add statistics below headers (percentage of issues, number of links)
• Add argument options
• Give location of file to make parsing
• Parse a website given a root hook (example.com => retrieve all routes based on hrefs)

Also:

• Refactor
• Add more tests to the existing tests
